Install Pencil on GNU/Linux

Filed under: Pencil, English tutorial, Tutorial in french, animation, eeePC — Administrator @

Pencil, I alread described here, is a wonderful animation tool.

I created a eeePC-701/Xandros binary of Pencil-0.4.3b (mirror), this piece of software should need preinstalling libming-0 and libqt4:
sudo apt-get install libming-0 libqt4
And have to be uncompressed using:
bunzip2 Pencil-0.4.3b.xandros.eeepc701.bz2
then launch it…

To compile the last SVN version, on Ubuntu-64 (there still isn’t any package), there is to install packeges libqt4-dev, libqt4-opengl-dev libming0 and libming-dev:
sudo apt-get install libming-0 libming-dev libqt4-dev

Then (on ubuntu-64 as on other distrib without pre-existing binary):
svn co https://pencil-planner.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pencil-planner pencil-planner
then in the directory itself:
With ubuntu (and some other distro?):
qmake-qt4
More generaly on my LFS for example):
qmake
then (on any distro):
make
A Pencil binary (with a uppercase P) sould be created, you just have to copy it where you want (bin directory or your home directory) and execute it, no other files needed.

chinese input method on an occidental Linux system eeepc

Filed under: chinese culture, system, eeePC — Administrator @

To use chinese input method on defaut eeePC GNU/Linux Xandros, you have to edit :
/etc/apt/sources.list
with kedit or other vi
remove # (comments) on the following line (on 701) or add it (on 900/901) :

deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2 etch main contrib non-free

save the file

get & install the xandros repository key by :
wget http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/pkg/pool/main/xandros/xandros-archive-keyring_1.0-3_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i xandros-archive-keyring_1.0-3_all.deb

tehn update and install piying methode :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install scim-pinyin

This is a (very) smart pinyin input method.

What’s a pitty this is not in default asus package (for a Taiwanese builder, that’s strange to don’t support anymore chinese input method ???).
Looks like on eeepc900 the older and less powerfull gcin replaced scim :(.
